Bad? The only thing is the fuel consumption but you would expect that from a 3.2 V6  :smiley:

Not much gain from a remap about 15 bhp IIRC

Thing with the R32 vs the 20vT is the simple fact the R32 will always muller the 1.8T, the only way your going to get a 1.8T faster round the track is to spend fortunes! and for the money you mais well have the R32 + it comes with good looks and great interior so you dont need to fork out on the little things, e.g. replacing the wood look interior, installing bora vents, pedals.....
